Missing Mate in One


Black has just played Rf5 in this quickplay finish.  How long does it take to see white's "best" move? 

Well, I missed it!  It was only in post-match analysis with an engine that I realised what had (not) happened.

Luckily, the game turned out OK in the end as black was reduced to completely random moves in his last few seconds.
